Descripción/Resumen:: This poster was presented at the 2016 Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) meeting. It examines the challenges and opportunities of a self submission institutional repository (IR), especially as they relate to dataset submission, and for both researchers and librarians. It also explores how researchers can maximize the impact of their works through an IR submission by including rich metadata and the links to other discovery systems. In particular the poster examines how Dr. Eric J. Tepe's submission to the IR is visualized within the IR and how it connects to the external systems of ORCID and iDigBio.

Descripción/Resumen:: The Pothomorphe clade of Piper contains ten species of shrubs and vines that are native to the New World tropics. One of these, Piper umbellatum, has been introduced outside its native range, and has become successfully established in most wet tropical areas around the World. The species is rather weedy in its native range, and also in parts of the Old World, where it occurs along roadsides, in cultivated fields, and other disturbed habitats. In other parts of the Old World, however, it behaves much like a native plant and can only be found on forested slopes along mountain streams. This is the exact opposite of the expected pattern, and makes one question whether P. umbellatum is indeed New World in origin. Research analyzing the Pothomorphe clade was undertaken to help understand the origin and distribution of P. umbellatum in both the Old and New World. DNA was extracted from various Piper specimens and sequenced to examine nuclear ITS and chloroplast petA–psbJ sequences. The complete analysis revealed poor resolution among species, but indicates the New World origin of P. umbellatum. Additional data are clearly needed to further study and understand the relationships among populations of Pothomorphe around the world.

Descripción/Resumen:: This research is focused on botanical remains from the late Hopewell and Woodland time period, around the 5th century A.D. from Newtown, Ohio. Many burial graves as well as artifacts of domestic debris were recovered, including flint, pottery, bone, numerous fragments of hardwood charcoal, and some plant species thought to be domesticated. This research sought to identify all the plant remains excavated from the Newtown Fire Station archaeological site, uncovered during the construction of a porch addition to the firehouse. These remains were identified using an electron microscope and organized by taxa, weighed, and photographed. After the remains were examined for identification purposes, they were studied for environmental context. Among the remains found were several fruit, nut, crop, and hardwood species. These preserved and charred remains serve as botanical evidence for the reconstruction of survival strategies of the past Newtown inhabitants, as well as diets and other domestic plant uses.
